DOA if he invades Ukraine. I'll put money on it. Russia will also lose SWIFT money transfer authority. And there will be more. A long Russian economic depression will be ahead.

Wait until the Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak and Baltic States step in to defend their borders. That will suck in those "silent" Europeans. If a second hostile Russian invasion of Ukraine begins, all hell will break loose.
